• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_SRCH013 - Error reading DDIC data of view ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_SRCH013 typically indicates an issue with reading the Data Dictionary (DDIC) data of a Core Data Services (CDS) view. This error can arise due to various reasons, including configuration issues, missing authorizations, or problems with the underlying database objects.
  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incomplete CDS View: The CDS view may not be properly defined or activated in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to access the underlying data or the CDS view itself.
  Database Issues: There may be issues with the database connection or the underlying tables/views that the CDS view is based on.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated correctly in the target system.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model (like renaming or deleting tables/fields) can lead to this error if the CDS view is not updated accordingly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Activation: Ensure that the CDS view is activated. You can do this by navigating to the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11 transaction and checking its status.
  Review Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view and its underlying data. You can use transaction SU53 to check for authorization failures.
  Check Database Connection: Ensure that the database connection is active and that there are no issues with the database itself. You can check this in transaction DBACOCKPIT or by running a simple SQL query.
  Inspect the Data Model: Review the underlying tables and fields used in the CDS view to ensure they exist and are correctly defined.
  Transport Validation: If the CDS view was transported, ensure that all related objects were transported and activated correctly in the target system.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the CDS view execution to identify the exact point of failure.
